****Update - I totally forgot I had this one on my NOOK too. Damn, my books be just getting lost...lmbo

So if you guys would like to make a couple of suggestions...I'm more than willing to take them ^_^, just leave a comment below..Why am I reading New Adult?...well I'm always open to a new genre and besides I signed up for a blog hop which features said "genre" and it would probably be a good idea if I read something that relates...right?

So anyways..throw your suggestions this way. I'll take a look at the book/blurb and see if it's to my liking.

I feel ya Ning...that's my thing with YA, I can't take that teenage drama...just don't have any patience for that mess, lols. I hear NA is suppose to be much different, a lil more on the "Adult" side...so we shall see.

New Adult is more mature. Borderline adult? But, not quite there. Still maturing from their teeny bopper stage. Adult content is there, just with a film screen covering it the whole time lmbo. At least, that's my definition for it lol.

LOL! from what I understand...New Adult are suppose to be stories with College kids either entering or are already there (that 19...20 & up crowd) & I guess the stories are suppose to be more risque as far as the sex is stuff is concerned than the YA books.

Directly from Wiki, the official Definition of New Adult....

New-adult Fiction or post-adolescent literature is a recent category of fiction for young adults first proposed by St. Martin's Press in 2009.[1] St. Martin’s Press editors wanted to address the coming-of-age that also happens in a young person’s twenties. They wanted to consider stories about young adults who were legally adults, but who were still finding their way in building a life and figuring out what it means to be an adult.

yeah, I get confused too. I read a few that were claimed to be "YA" but when I read them I was like.. hmmm that's not YA, deeefinitely not YA.. and then I find out that there is a genre called "New Adult" I was calling it "Young-Adult-On-The-Verge-Of-Adulthood" lol

I've read some YA in the past & I just can't deal with all that she's so pretty & popular stuff ...you know that cheerleader chick & the her football star boyfriend. it's irritating to read for me that is.

lol no no no none of that! haha. I think it's just, if you're so embedded in a certain genre, you'll more or less find it hard to transition into another genre where the elements lack what you're used to. Like me jumping from Erotica to YA (big ass difference) and I get all kinds of discombobulated.

yeah, just a tad bit. it's getting there, but the relationships I feel in Adult books are way more matured. (duh lol) but New Adult is good. I like the whole college vibe. It's cute. Especially Contemporary Romance. I feel that once you hit 18+ you can move along and still read books that are more suited for you. But, YA is good too. But I'll keep that at PNR.

I have a few New Adult titles. I have a The Secret of Ella and Micha and the Coincidence of Callie and Kayden. Both feature emotionally scared "new adults" 19-20ish crowd. The leads are not annoying and tho it is light on the physical, it is there. I have Hopeless by Colleen Hoover. I havent read it but its getting good reviews. Ah hell, i'm just going to email you. LOL

Oh and the difference between YA and NA is they are typically in college and there is sex in the book. Typically they are also angst ridden and have to overcome some trauma from their past.
